NS2 vs NS3: Which Simulation Environment Fits Your Research?
Both NS2 and NS3 are discrete-event network simulators used for networking research purposes; however, there are differences between them in terms of their architecture, workflow, and usage in networking research. It all depends on your research objective, the literature review, and your supervisor’s requirements.
NS2 for Comparative & Legacy Protocol Research
NS2 is most commonly used in networking research, and it has been conducted using NS2 in many works involving MANET, VANET, WSN, routing, congestion, and wireless networking protocols.
NS2 can be appropriate when:
- Existing research uses NS2
- A study requires comparison with legacy simulation results
- The proposed protocol is based on an NS2 implementation
- Supervisor or research requirements specify NS2
- Existing TCL/C++ simulation components need modification
NS2 generally utilizes TCL scripts along with C++ code for simulating and implementing protocols.
NS3 for Modern Network Simulation
NS3 is a more advanced simulation environment that facilitates research on modern network architectures and protocols.
NS3 can be suitable for:
- IoT research
- Wireless communication
- 5G and emerging network research
- SDN-related studies
- Network security research
- Advanced routing protocols
- Large-scale simulation experiments
NS3 provides tools for development in C++ and Python, based on the needs of the simulation
Why Both Can Be Used in Academic Research
The decision of whether to use NS2 or NS3 must depend on the methodology and not necessarily on whether one of these simulators is superior. It is possible for a simulator to facilitate good research provided that the implementation, assumptions, experimentation, parameters, comparison, and results are all properly justified.
Why NS2 & NS3 Implementation Matters for PhD Research
Implementation serves as an evaluation process for a suggested method through experimental testing in the context of simulation-based networking studies
Simulation-Based Validation
Proposed routing protocols, security schemes, optimization methods, and network models can all be implemented and evaluated based on particular scenarios.
Performance Benchmarking
Researchers may use simulation with uniform performance parameters for comparison of the proposed methodology with existing methodology.
Reproducible Experiments
Simulation experiments that have documentation of parameters, topology, traffic models, protocols, algorithms, and evaluation techniques would become reproducible and assessable.
Research Result Generation
Results from simulations can be converted into numerical figures, performance charts, comparisons in tabular form, and analysis that can be used in the chapters of theses and research manuscripts.
In case of submission of papers to IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, Scopus, and other scientific journals, the results of simulation may become an important component of experimental verification. The acceptance of the paper will depend on its overall research quality, methodology, novelty, manuscript, journal requirements, and peer review.
